Luxury weddings & parties
at Blenheim Palace
A magnificent 300-year-old palace in glorious Oxfordshire grounds
Blenheim Palace
Stately home & sumptuous wedding venue
Around 90 acres of formal gardens. 2,000 acres of grounds. And centuries of storied history. Blenheim Palace is today, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the most spectacular party and wedding venues in the UK. Where walking down the aisle will mean following in the footsteps of monarchs and statesmen.
Queen Anne’s gift to John Churchill, Duke of Marlborough, remains in the family. In fact, it was within the Capability Brown-designed gardens that Winston Churchill proposed to Clementine – and where romance continues to blossom. Inside, soaring baroque ceilings studded with chandeliers set an opulent scene. Outdoors, its pristine lawns and lakes make for spellbinding photography – the jewel in the crown for luxury weddings at Blenheim Palace.

Grand weddings & glorious receptions
at Blenheim Palace
A banquet in the Long Library, home to 10,000 books. A black-tie reception beneath the majestic ceilings and statues of the Great Hall. Luxury weddings and parties at Blenheim Palace are made for guest lists on a grand scale. But there are intimate spaces to discover here too. As expert wedding planners with our own history at Blenheim, we unlock the palace’s most spectacular rooms – within historic walls that echo with the past.
Parties at the palace:
a stately setting
The epitome of an English countryside idyll, the Capability Brown grounds at Blenheim Palace are breath-catching in their beauty. Pause in the scented Rose Garden. Take in the spectacular Water Terraces and the hidden walks of the Secret Garden. Or make a grand entrance on the sweeping South Lawn, where our team of luxury party planners can create a bespoke marquee with space for 2,000 – for those who wish to make their own mark on weddings and parties at Blenheim Palace.
The art of modern event planning
A five-tiered wedding cake in the soft pastel shades of the Orangery. Floral centrepieces that mirror the sublime grounds. Lighting which transforms the palatial Great Hall into a stage for epic entertainment. At Scarlet, we design every element of luxury weddings and parties at Blenheim Palace, blending the estate’s 17th-century elegance with 21st-century style – and celebrating the magnificence of this truly spectacular setting.
Planning an event?
Whether it’s a contemporary Chinese wedding or a traditional Jewish celebration, as specialist party planners we are dedicated to creating something extraordinary. The first step is a conversation. One where we get to the heart of a client’s wants and wishes, cultural needs and creative ideas. After that, there’s no limit to where imagination can lead. At Blenheim Palace in the Cotswolds countryside, it could be cocktails and candlelight in the charismatic Saloon or a wedding ceremony in the light-filled Orangery.
